As claimed by nashville.com, "In 1961 the Country Music Association (CMA) announced the creation of the Country Music Hall of Fame and chose its first three inductees; Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, and Fred Rose" (3). In other words, the country music hall of fame was to to honor the great singers in country music. It was not until 1963, that the location for the hall of fame was announced. It was to be placed on Music Row, in Nashville, Tennessee (nashville.com 3). On April 1st, 1967 the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum was opened. It was later closed on the 31st of December, 2000 due to the expansion of the museum. With the closing of the old hall of fame, a new building was created a few blocks away. On May 17th, 2001, the hall of fame had its grand opening of the new $37,000,000 Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
